1) I have my 360 all opened up
2) I have a motherboard that has sata ports
3) I have the xecuter connectivity kit
4) I have a samsung drive
5) I made the bootable floppy correctly and put on the two files
5) When i boot with the floppy inserted (with other drives/attached) it says the drive is found but gives me "Port If0, Master/Slave:a0" when i press 1 to select master
6) When i take everything out execpt my floppy drive/samsung drive it says "no drive found"(i disabled everything but floppy/samsung drive in bios)
7) I'm wondering why i have to connect my power cable to my 360? cant i just use power from the PC, if power is the only thing its gettin from the 360 than it shouldnt make any difference right?
This was my set up samsung drive attached to a sata cable plugged into the SATA1 port, w the power plug plugged into the xecuter kit and a 4pin power cable plugged into that with the mode button pushed down (red led on).9) Also, i cant seem to boot into windows with the drive plugged into my PC (it will post but just get a - on the top left hand of the screen and it wont go away)
The reason im posting here(im aware this is not a 360 or a modding site) is because its my last resort, no one responded to any one of my other posts so i thought i might try it. here.
I think i have narrowed it down to my motherboard not being able to see the dvd drive even with the connectivity kit, some people said if i get a promise PCI SATA card it will work but there are so many different versions and prices i honestly have no idea which to get.
